Curried Tuna Lettuce Wraps

We are big time tuna and salmon lovers in this house. There is no better easy and healthy lunchtime meal, seriously! Even Cricket gets weekly meals featuring canned salmon, as it’s a super healthy, no-prep required option. You can see Cricket’s Super Salmon & Sardine Chow recipe HERE.

Nicoise Stuffed Avocado Halves

You may know I am big advocate for grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, eggs, and even some dairy. What you may not know is why….. There are two very important reasons. The first reason is that meat and other animal products are much healthier for you when they are raised naturally (on pasture, eating grasses). The second reason is that I am an avid animal lover and believe that animals should be treated with compassion and care. I used to be a vegetarian in fact! When I made the choice to eat meat, I decided it had to come from local sources and that the livestock be allowed to graze, forage, et cetera, in a manner that is natural to its species.

Bacon Cup Tuna Melts

And the same rules and values apply to fish. Wild-caught fish are better for you. They have higher levels of omega-3’s and are leaner, as compared to farm-raised fish. In addition, I feel better about consuming fish that have had a great fish-full life in the wild, and not from some fish farm;)! But, with all these benefits for consuming wild fish, we must be responsible and choose to fish sustainably. Employing sustainable fishing practices will keep fish populations from dwindling and help prevents overfishing. To learn more about sustainable fishing and how it effects you visit WWF.

Chipotle Salmon Sliders

This is the reason why I use Wild Selections Tuna and Salmon. They are truly dedicated to ensuring a fish-full future…..Wild Selections donates 13 cents from every can sold to the World Wildlife Fund marine conservation and fishery improvement projects. By 2018 they will have donated over 1 million dollars! That’s incredible!

1can Wild Selections Tuna in Water

1 1/2tablespoonmayonaiseor mashed avocado works well for paleo

1/4cupcheddar cheeseI recommend grass-fed, shredded

dash of salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut each bacon strip in half, then lay the two bacon halves into each muffin tin compartment, creating a cross. You can trim the ends if they are too long.

Bake the bacon cups for 20-28 minutes, or until crispy. Let them cool, then remove from the muffin tin and place on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.They will have shrunken in size somewhat, creating a shallow cup shape.

Drain any remaining grease from the muffin tin.

In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, Wild Selections Tuna, and a dash of salt and pepper, and mix well.

Spoon a heaping tablespoon into each cup, top each cup with cheese, then place the cups into the muffin tin.

Place back in the oven on the top rack for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Carefully remove the Bacon Cup Tuna Melts from the muffin tin with a fork and serve.
